According to Statista, the banking market in the Philippines is projected to have reached a net interest income of $8.18 billion in 2024, driven by the surge in digital banking services. As mobile banking continues to grow, it's essential to prioritize robust security measures to protect against Trojan attacks.

Mobile banking apps store sensitive information, such as login credentials and transaction data, making them prime targets for hackers. If compromised, these apps can lead to financial losses, damage to reputation, and even legal consequences.
